UPTOWN? There's a new food truck in town, reports No Def this week: "If you've been hanging around Le Bon Temps Roule (4801 Magazine St.) the past couple of weekends, you have inevitably seen Skillet." Owners Jason Vowell and Wylie Whitesides are serving up an ecclectic menu from vegetarian green curry fried rice to boudin burgers. [NOLADefender]
